Any pics of your build? I had a look underneath and got scared off when I saw all the hydraulic hard lines for the AYC pump. My thoughts were to remove both tow hooks and replace with my own but was afraid of damaging something. I even asked the dealer but they said even if they damage something I could be in trouble because Mitsubishi is already fussy about the AYC. He noted also to make sure it doesn't look anything like a trailer hitch for warranty reasons.

LInks updated just in case. It is annoying when links go stale!
